Ik how the data is collected, I was in charge of the combine tracking data while at NGS.
His speeds are a hair slower, but not to the level of an error w the lasers. It’s way more likely that he just got lucky by running particularly straight, had his arm swing to set off the end laser quick, etc

So many odd dudes who were otherwise totally unremarkable until they wrote a couple things people loved and then they found themselves incredibly important and powerful

If he runs a 40 hitting that top speed 100 times does he run a 4.29 every time? No. They would prob be in the range of like 4.42-4.29 with only hitting 4.29 like 10 times. Idk if that means he’s a “true” 4.29 or whatever, but it doesn’t raise to the level of suspicion that the lasers messed up imo

But confused by what you ab the tracking speeds? His max speed is in range with other speeds for guys who ran low-mid 4.3s (+/- 0.3 mph) and shaving off 0.05ish seconds w form passes a sniff test. It’s prob the best time he could’ve gotten, but doesn’t seem to rise to the level of laser time error?

There is an insane amount of JRPG fans who will see a story which is so obviously 99.9% trans except the game goes “no they’re not they just need to embrace being a boy/girl 🤠” and not think critically ab it is absolutely preposterous.
Atlus is really bad ab this but there’s so many more

Doesn’t sound like there is anything of substance in it tbh. Only thing I’m seeing is that one page of one paper says “Israeli intelligence” and so some people are losing their minds. Not compelling

Others also liked QBs Brady Palmer and Ryan Hopkins but I didn’t see much of them. Hopkins also ran a 4.61 which is legit.
I should have a better plan, but it’s tough to keep track of all the WRs/DBs during the 1 on 1s and routes on air while also keeping an eye on QBs

Can’t start thinking Bob Packwood is the only one acting inappropriately towards women in Congress!

“Well our president seems to be a serial sexual predator who cannot control himself. Guess we’ll focus on the one consensual affair he had and his shady conman political associate that every American politician ever has had.”

He has good taste in 90s beats at least. Can’t take that away from him.

Idk I think refs should try to get in the way more often in more sports

Appreciate it! Since I used a logistic regression and BMI is not a linear combination of height and weight it’s not something you’d expect the model to pick up. And the model performed a little better with the feature than without it

If you're curious about how I made the market-based star ratings, you can check out the methodology over at evaluationperiod dot info

Will be fully rolled out by Monday, but basically it uses publicly available info (size, offers, visits) to predict how many stars a player has. Not super granular obviously but lets us say things like "this player is getting recruited like a 4 star"

For those that haven’t played it, you have to solve mysteries and if you don’t solve the mystery right then everyone dies. So naturally the game has two genius characters who just say to you “wow you haven’t figured it out yet?” In every level even though that doesn’t make sense for the setting
